Deep burgundy with a ruby hue.
Lifted primary fruits of blood plum,
blackberry, maraschino cherry, hints of
liquorice and the added complexity of
mixed spice and Christmas cake.
Palate:
The palate is smooth, rich and complex with mulberry fruit and earthy savoury length, the addition of a little Vintage Port at dosage adds hints of liquorice and mocha. Subtle well integrated oak provides fine tannins and a long, dry, savoury finish.
Sparkling Shiraz NV Tasting Note
The base blend for this wine was aged in a combination of one and three year old French oak for twenty four months. We employed the ‘Methode Traditionelle’ process for secondary fermentation,
followed by a further 9 months on yeast lees prior to disgorging. For the liqueur d’expédition we have added a very small amount of our Vintage Port to impart
richness and complexity to the wine. Please take care opening the cork and wire muselet, pointing away from body.
The extra time spent aging in tirage
ensures this wine is ready to drink
upon release. This wine is destined to be enjoyed
chilled with your traditional Chistmas
turkey or pork roast. Adventurous
diners might also try this wine with
Peking duck pancakes and salted
cucumber.
